THERESA MAY snapped at Jeremy Corbyn during PMQs during a discussion over rising crime across Britain and delivered a savage dig at the London Mayor to make her point.

The Labour Party leader quizzed Theresa May during Prime Minister’s Questions over crime in the UK.

The Prime Minister flipped Mr Corbyn’s argument and referenced Sadiq Khan’s troubling knife crime to highlight how well the Government were doing.

The London Mayor has been criticised over knife crime figures in the capital.

Speaking in the House of Commons, Mr Coryn said: “As well as police cuts, other public service cuts are clearly contributing to the rise in crime.

PMQs: Theresa May ripped into Jeremy Corbyn with a swipe at Sadiq Khan

“3,600 youth workers have lost their jobs, 600 youth centres closed and boarded up. Probation services have been cut and privatised.

“Re-offenders committing more offences. When it comes to tackling crime, prevention and cure are two sides of the same coin.

“So why is the Government cutting both prevention and cure.”

The Prime Minister delivered a brilliant response to Jeremy Corbyn as she took a swipe at the London Mayor in the process.

Now there is a Labour Mayor in London, knife crime is going up

She said: “I come back to the point I made in my last response.

“The leader of the opposition, the right honourable gentleman, voted against changing the law so that anyone caught carrying a knife for the second time would face a custodial sentence.

“He has called for much shorter sentences for those who break the law.

“And he might want to reflect on the fact that when there was a Conservative Mayor in London knife crime went down.

“Now there is a Labour Mayor in London, knife crime is going up.”

Sadiq Khan took to Twitter to respond the Mrs May's comments in the House of Commons.

The PM simply can’t be allowed to get away with misleading information. Knife crime is rising across Britain - not just London - & started going up well before May 2016. 8 years of Tory cuts to police & preventative services must urgently be reversed #PMQshttps://t.co/8sckVeQ1aa
